I think you are not the only one who will cut back. A lot of people will need to. I for one will have to. I think the politicians deep down know this and are playing a game of "chicken". The some GOP guys know that if they just cave in and say "okay, tax the rich millionaires" than they will lose the support of their lobby…

I once had my period for 5 months without stopping. The only thing that worked to stop it was going on the pill. that took 2 cycles. I was told by my ob/gyn that I was not ovulating, so my body was resetting itself. I stopped taking the pill I think about only 3 months later and the problem never came back, thankfully.

I have PCOS too. It's a struggle but it can be done. Hang in there and stay on MFP!

Please be careful. My boyfriend lost custody of his daughter and was living out of car for a time after being a stay at home dad. Both his and his ex's attorneys kept messing up the facts. The court did too. He wanted peace and thought caving in would make peace. Instead. it made for years of strife...his daughter is 15…

I am a flexavegan myself...I tend to eat vegan most days and then sometimes I have horrible processed meat-food like Popeye's chicken or Stuft Veggie pizza. If our meat while animals could run free on a farm, I would be more inclined to eat them more often. But as it stands, that's mostly not the case in America. I also…

Wow! Your 20 lbs. looks like a lot more! Shows how working out and eating sensibly looks good.

Me too! I had explosive *you know what* every single day on it. I finally went off it after my TSH came back to normal. Weightloss was slightly easier but not enough to put myself through that torture. It also made my coworkers gossip, all the bathroom trips. I started using saw palmetto and a CVS knock-off of Neutrogena…

This is ME, I could have written this back in the day. I have lost all the weight I needed to...twice. I had migraines all the time, my face looked very "pinched", it's like I aged 10 years. I gained back the weight and then some. My body's metabolism got out of whack. I ended up in an Endocrinologist's office taking some…

Please tell me your called your news station? The school may have the best of intentions...but if they see how ridiculous this is, it is a good lesson for them. Nothing does that faster than 100K emails coming to you from all over the whole wide world. PLEASE take it to the news!

I just log it and move on. I now plan for my fun things to eat like my boyfriend's pancakes. I just don't eat them everyday. I think the mindset "cheating" is something not really helpful for me...I think of it as just moderation. (I am a compulsive over-eater though.

+1.5 And still eating some leftovers. Love this thread as I was discouraged this morning weighing myself.

Californiagirl, thanks for your post, nobody else talks about losing "chunks". I know I need to exercise more. I don't lose in a linear fasion.

I don't know enough about your relationship from a paragraph to know specifics. But what I don't know is, did you ever define your relationship? If you pledge to be faithful and she slipped up getting drunk, didn't tell you but left it on her phone, sounds like bad communication between you to. If you encouraged her when…

I found it interesting that some women at the same weight and height looked skinny (in bikinis) and others looked overweight. Shows me I need to do some strength training along with walking as I lose.

only on page 1, keep requesting to add friends and reading slowly. This thread is chock full of awesomeness! :happy:

I am now reading through pcos diva. Thanks for turning me on to this site! :heart:

shake n bake on tofu sounds good! I need to try this. :smile:

Chicken and waffles at Roscoe's. I thought about driving up to Oakland for it but found out that they are closed, and the chicken and waffles place up there isn't as good from what I've heard. Roscoe's in Long Beach is so good, you will slap yourself. You will slap your mama.

I worked with someone who had disc problems (I can not remember the specifics.) She was in so much pain, she had to work from home doing tech support. She had to lie down, stand up...couldn't sit much. She fought for worker's comp at a previous job (they kept trying to deny her). Finally, she won and they had to pay. So…

You do look 10 years younger. Your body looks like it's tone too. Well done you! :drinker:

A section where Dr. Oz and Dr. Fuhrman tell everybody what they think? I would love that. But I am not willing to $$ pay for it. There are tons of success stories of people that have lost 100+ and more too all over the place. I guess it could be good to put them all in an area. But I don't want to pay any $$ for that. They…

I might add here, I got water retention by one blood pressure medicine I took and my doctor put me on another, a sort of water pill, to get rid of it. It worked. Get thee to a doctor lady!

I try to eat veggies/fruits and legumes/tofu/fake meats. I feel much better, not as many cravings. I do go off it sometimes (it appears a lot this week due to very high stress at work and at home). Cheese makes me crave more more more. I do much better not eating it. For me, wheat sprouty-bread like Alvardo is great. I do…

coffee will get you going. I myself do not digest milk very well and combined with coffee, it's rocket fuel literally. I allow myself maybe once a week a soy mocha. That is semi-rocket fuel still, the combination. I don't drink it if I will be in a really long meeting that day.

This is your place for information on PF: http://heelspurs.com/_safe.html note: I used to hang out there in 2002 or so. My problem was so bad, I couldn't stand in line at the groceries. My problem is better but I am still unable to stand for an hour like at a booth for an event in sales (which is horribly embarrassing for…

The sweet corn is a fabulous idea! And the batch of spices you use. I ordered some fake egg stuff I will mix in next time.

I find a bowl of oats with a little margarine, a tiny bit of agave and some fruit really hits the spots. Sometimes I put some nuts on it. This morning though had frosted mini-wheats and soy milk since my tummy was not in the mood to process the oats. I tend to eat more proteins and veggies after the morning. I do sometimes…

Good night peeps. :heart:

The post about having very lean body fat and not feeling like binging makes sense to me since I have insulin resistance and it is the fat in my body that is driving that. Insulin resistance is actually pretty common. It tends to happen in overweight people. It happened to me early on during puberty since I got PCOS. I…
